答案和详解如下: 1.A company issued an annual-pay bond with a face value of $135,662, maturity of 4 years, and 7.00 percent coupon, while the market interest rates are 8.00 percent What is the present value of the interest payments on the date when the bonds are issued? A) $131,164. B) $49,857. C) $31,453. D) $18,992. The correct answer was C) Present value of the interest payments on the date of issue is $31,453 = [I/Y = 8.00%, N = 4, PMT = $9,496.34 ($135,662 * 0.07 ), FV = $0 ].
2.What is the unamortized discount on the date when the bonds are issued? A) $1,748. B) $499. C) $15,729. D) $4,493. The correct answer was D) The unamortized discount rate at the time bonds are issued will be $4,493. Face value of bonds = $135,662. Proceeds from bond sale = $131,168.70 [I/Y = 8.00%, N = 4, PMT = $9,496.34 ($135,662 * 0.07 ), FV = $135,662 ]. Unamortized discount = $4,493 = ($135,662 - $131,169).
3.What is the unamortized discount at the end of the first year? A) $3,495. B) $1,209. C) $538. D) $2,247. The correct answer was A) The unamortized discount will decrease by $998 at the end of first year and will be $3,495. Interest expense = ($131,169)(0.08) = $10,493.52, or $10,494. Coupon payment = ($135,662)(0.07) = $9,496. Change in discount = ($10,494 - $9,496) = $998. Discount at the end of first year = $4,493 - $998 = $3,495.
4.A company issued a bond with a face value of $67,831, maturity of 4 years, and 7 percent coupon, while the market interest rates are 8 percent. What is the unamortized discount when the bonds are issued? A) $498.58. B) $15,726.54. C) $2,246.65. D) $1,748.07. The correct answer was C) Coupon payment = ($67,831)(0.07) = $4,748.17. Present value of bond: FV = $67,831, N = 4, I = 8, PMT = $4,748.17, CPT PV = $65,584.35. Discount = $67,831 - $65,584.35 = $2,246.65.
5.What is the unamortized discount at the end of the first year? A) $1,209.61. B) $538.46. C) $1,748.07. D) $2,246.65. The correct answer was C) Interest expense = ($65,584.35)(0.08) = $5,246.75. Coupon payment = ($67,831)(0.07) = $4,748.17. Change in discount = $5,246.75 - 4,748.17 = $498.58. Discount at the end of the first year = $2,246.65 - 498.58 = $1,748.07. |
